PlayStation 3 owners can relive the glory days of the arcade cabinet when Joust launches on the PlayStation Network tomorrow afternoon as part of the Sony's latest wave of downloadable content for the big black box.
Originally released in 1982, Joust casts players as an ostrich-bound knight battling lava trolls, pterodactyls and hordes of enemy jousters. The Midway title will keep the classic platforming action and add an online multiplayer mode and leaderboards to track scores.
Bring it on ... again.
Look for Joust to carry a $4.99 price tag.

Sony Computer Entertainment Australia today announced a price drop for the PSP to $279.95 RRP, effective immediately. This is good news for a system in need of a boost, and alongside some strong recent releases such as Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (which is in stores today) should see strong sales. It also brings the system into line with other territories - both the US and UK have seen recent price drops for the system.
That's not the only exciting news for Aussie gamers, as SCE Australia has also confirmed that the Go!Cam camera adapter will go on sale in Australia on the 21st of June for $79.95 RRP. What's Go!Cam? Well, aside from being a rallying cry for yours truly (sorry, couldn't resist), it's also a camera attachment that snaps on via the mini-USB port on the top of your PSP. The camera rotates 180 degrees, allowing you to use the screen as a viewfinder, whether you're taking a photo of yourself or filming a video. Images are snapped at a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, which is a little disappointing considering that 2mp is pretty much standard issue for most phones these days. Nonetheless, if you have a 4GB Memory Stick, you'll be able to store 40,000 photos, or two and a half hours of video, and the built-in mic ensures continuous audio. Go!Cam will ship with Go!Edit, an editing suite which allows users to tweak movies and photos with sounds and graphical effects, as well as upload finished media directly onto the internet.

Today Red Mile Entertainment, publisher of last summer's Crusty Demons and the upcoming Jackass game, announced it has secured the rights to develop and publish games based on Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels. As the deal refers to the novels, not the movie co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Miller, it doesn't sound like we can expect to see the likenesses of actors like Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis in the game.
Expect the game to look more like the graphic novel than the movie.
Frank Miller will be working with Red Mile on the adaptations. "Taking Sin City into the world of videogames is very exciting -- games offer a whole new way to bring audiences into Sin City," said Miller. "The Red Mile team has impressed me with its dedication to creating Sin City videogames that will remain true to Sin City as I've always seen it."
"Sin City enjoys a broad and devoted following," said Chester Aldridge, CEO of Red Mile. "Its crime noir settings, richly detailed characters, hyper-real action sequences, and engaging stories provide an outstanding groundwork for videogames."
Back in 2005 the writers of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay announced they were developing a Sin City game, but no further information surfaced about the project. As Frank Miller has attached himself to Red Mile's game it looks like this one will be the real deal.

It was floating around retailer pre-order lists for ages and even had its own website, but after more than a year of silence, Red Mile Entertainment has finally announced that Jackass: The Game is coming to PS2, PSP and Nintendo DS this fall.
Sidhe Interactive (GripShift) is handling production duties on both Sony platform versions, while Sensory Sweep Studios (Marvel Nemesis, Justice League Heroes) develops the DS edition.
Classified as a "mission-based action/ adventure," Jackass takes its inspiration from the MTV television series and allows players to try out 35 different scenarios with digital incarnations of Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, and the rest of the cast. However, word on the street is that Bam Margera didn't make the cut.
Awesome in the making? (PSP Shot)
So far, Red Mile has revealed two of the 35 scenarios -- avoiding traffic on the streets of San Francisco while in a garbage can and invading a country club with your golf cart in an effort to destroy every object you can find. "Detailed rag doll modeling, dynamic physics and stunts that are never the same" are among the reported features.
Red Mile has also confirmed that the PSP version of the game will boast multiple extras including unlockable footage from the TV show, a "save replay" feature, and the ability to trade clips wirelessly with other PSP users. There's no word yet on what (if any) system-specific features will be included in the other versions.
The first official screens of Jackass: The Game are available in the gallery below.

Well, I was going to keep it a secret until it was a little bit further in, but you should all know by now, I get too excited to share with people.
So, my old project Halo 2d, as many of you know, has not had any news or updates since late last year, so, I decided to start working on it again.
New features include, a fully working Menu (not finalized yet, but this may be how i keep it, still needs some stuff though), An intro (gives it a more professional touch), and I fixed the projectiles (they would always be facing right even when shot to the left).
No release yet, but I am including a video to go with this post. I sure hope you all are as excited as I am to get this project back on track. :thumbup:

In a strange turn of events, well, an ambitious one at least, Sony and BT (British Communications) have just announced that the versatile little gaming-guidebook thing, the Playstation Portable, is turning into a phone.
Plans to add “wireless broadband communications functions, including high quality handheld video calls, voice calls and messaging” to the Playstation Portable were announced yesterday by BT and Sony.
Over the course of a four-year contract, the two companies have resolved to develop a “raft of extra features”, which will be available across a wide range of SCEE territories, starting in the UK and branching out.
Steve Andrews, BT chief, Mobility and Convergence, said:
“The combination of SCEE and BT working together is a natural fit. Sony is a world-class company producing some of the world’s most innovative electronic devices and BT is at the forefront of communications with the 21CN global platform. The PSP is an excellent device for both gaming and communications, because of its high quality screen and audio capabilities. With over 8 million PSPs shipped across Europe, we are very excited by the opportunity to give customers a whole new communications experience, connecting and seeing friends across the world through BT’s technology.”
David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said:
“It is very exciting for us to be partnering with BT on such a unique project. The opportunity to combine our market leading expertise with BT’s knowledge in communications opens up many possibilities and we look forward to bringing many exciting communication functions to PSP fans.”

Having been in hiding for several months, Gearbox Software's Brothers in Arms sequel Hell's Highway has finally stepped back into the light.
And pretty damn impressive the WWII first-person shooter's looking too in a new gameplay trailer that's emerged from Ubisoft's UbiDay event happening in Paris. Check out the goods on this here page. New shots have been released too.
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, which is in development for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, is based on Operation Market-Garden, the ill-fated Allied attempt to bring a swift close to the war in one daring offensive.
Screenshots can be seen here. The trailer is viewable from here. Leave feedback via comments.

That was quick. Following the announcement Monday of an 80GB PS3 model for South Korea, the AP was informed by a Sony official today that the model is being considered for the US and elsewhere.
The quote that the AP uses is a bit ambiguous and really isn't much different than what we've been hearing since Monday. Sony spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka says, "Increasing capacity for models is one of the options ... We make such decisions depending on the needs of the market, and every country is different." Although they didn't get it in a quote, the AP says further on that Fukuoka did say they are considering the 80GB model in the US and other markets.
An 80GB model is great, but would this be a horrible time to mention the Xbox 360 Elite? Although being a rip-off of an upgrade compared to the regular Xbox 360, it still has a 120GB hard drive and HDMI. Even if the 80GB PS3 model enters the market at the 60GB model's current price, the Elite still has it beat by 40GB and being around $100 less. Yes, yes, add the HD DVD drive and it's practically the same price -- touché. Also, if it's just about a hard drive upgrade, you could simply do it yourself. At least the 80GB model is coming, we wonder what other changes Sony will place under the hood before release.

PSP will be the home of the next R-Type game, titled R-Type Tactics, reveals the latest issue of Famitsu magazine.
Firm gameplay details are yet to be revealed, but the word 'Tactics' in the title suggests it being some sort of turn-based strategy battle game, a theory supported by one of the screens in a blurry photo of the magazine. Just look to the right at the screen above the black box - that looks like a grid-based battle system to us.
We'd hope that the traditional shoot-'em-up gameplay of the series isn't completely abandoned, but we'll have to wait and see.

Hot on the heels of this week's announcement of seven more songs for the 1980s-themed Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, Activision has announced the first batch of songs for Guitar Hero III. The full list for the latest rhythm game, first revealed during an earnings call earlier in the year, is below--and contains many tracks by the original artists:
ORIGINAL RECORDINGS:
"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour
"Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones
"Cherub Rock" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Sabotage" by Beastie Boys
"The Metal" by Tenacious D
"My Name Is Jonas" by Weezer
"Knights of Cydonia" by Muse
COVER SONGS:
"Rock And Roll All Nite" as made famous by Kiss
"School's Out" as made famous by Alice Cooper
"Slow Ride" as made famous by Foghat
"Barracuda" as made famous by Heart
The company also confirmed that the game would be getting two new controllers--a Gibson Les Paul guitar model for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii consoles, and a Gibson Kramer guitar for the PlayStation 2. Both controllers will be wireless.
The new game will also get a host of new features, including a "multiplayer action-inspired battle mode," and authentic rock venues. An expanded online multiplayer mode will allow gamers to compete with other guitar heroes worldwide.
RedOctane's head of publishing, Dusty Welch, said that the team had listened to fans' requests for this edition of the game. He commented, "Many of the top bands and songs we've tried to get in the past are now on board, and we've definitely got some giant aces in the hole to say the least."
Guitar Hero III is due for release on the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii this "fall." It will be the first full-fledged entry in the series to be developed by Activision's in-house studio Neversoft--the first two Guitar Hero games were made by Harmonix.

With Killzone 2's release date still very much up in the air--more information is expected at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in July--it looked like there would be no PlayStation 3-exclusive first-person-shooter counterweight to Halo 3 this fall.
That is no longer the case.
This morning, Ubisoft revealed that the PS3 is now the "lead platform" for Free Radical's forthcoming shooter, Haze. Originally set for a release on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 this spring, the game will now debut solely on the PS3 this fall.
Haze MantelCorp wants you!
Watch | Download In fact, the fact sheet provided by Ubisoft no longer lists the PC or Xbox 360 versions of the game, prompting some speculation that it may become PS3-exclusive. The UK Haze site for the game also only bears the PS3 logo, although the American Haze site still sports the Xbox 360 and PC-DVD logos at its bottom.
When contacted by GameSpot, Ubisoft reps were somewhat cagey. "Haze is leading on PS3, but no exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced," a spokesperson said. This leaves open the possibility that the game could arrive on the 360 and PC sometime in 2008.
Set in the year 2048, Haze foresees a near future where megacorporations dominate the planet with private armies. Players assume the role of a solider for one corporation, Mantel, which outfits its troops with high-tech weaponry and biomechanical serums. For more information, check out GameSpot's latest Haze impressions.

Following a financial briefing in Tokyo today, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada gave clear indication of when to expect Final Fantasy XIII -- er, rather, of when not to expect the fair-haired rpg. "[The game] will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question," said Wada. Square Enix's fiscal year ends March 31, 2008.
Wada's forecast comes just a day after Konami indicated that Metal Gear Solid 4 would squeeze into stores before the end of the fiscal year.

Sony has signed a four year contract with BT to offer video calls, voice calls and messaging to the PSP.
Using VoIP technology, PSP users will be able to communicate over the internet, with plans for PC, mobile phone and fixed line integration scheduled for the future.

"With over 8 million PSPs shipped across Europe, we are very excited by the opportunity to give customers a whole new communications experience, connecting and seeing friends across the world through BT's technology."
The service will roll-out in the UK, with other European regions to follow.

Via Game Spot.
Earlier this week it was announced that South Korea would be getting a new model of the PlayStation 3 console, sporting a larger, 80GB hard drive. So far Sony has said that there are no immediate plans to release the new machine--said to be identical to the European model in every other way--in other countries.
The reasoning behind releasing an 80GB PS3 in South Korea is now becoming clearer--Sony plans to offer video-on-demand services to the region, reports the Korea Times.
Sony Korea spokesperson Park Seo-yun told the newspaper that the company was in negotiations with possible partner companies for the VOD service, although she declined to name them or offer a timeline. The PS3 is due to be released in South Korea on June 16.
An anonymous Hanaro Telecom--a Korean phone company--spokesperson commented, "We are negotiating with Sony and the atmosphere is pretty good. We hope to be able to reach an agreement in June."

PS3 Firmware Version 1.80 Announced
Latest PLAYSTATION 3 Firmware Update Provides PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and DVD Upscaling
Remote Play on PSP (PlayStation Portable) via the Internet and DLNA transfer of media content also enabled
London, 24 May 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) firmware. Version 1.80 features upscaling of PlayStation® and PlayStation 2 games, and DVD movies up to full 1080p HD resolution when viewed on a compatible HD TV set.
The capability to upscale DVDs to HD quality is a feature normally only associated with top range DVD players, and its inclusion in the latest firmware upgrade now allows PS3 owners with an existing DVD collection to dramatically enhance the viewing pleasure of their DVD collection when viewed through a compatible HD TV set1. Not only can DVD movies be enhanced to full 1080p HD quality but so too will PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games be upscaled to provide much improved gaming pleasure.
In a comprehensive update to PS3’s already impressive capabilities, Version 1.80 also allows users to enjoy Remote Play on their PSP across the internet, allowing them to access their PS3 anywhere in the world where a broadband internet connection is available2.
Version 1.80 also allows users on a home network to seamlessly view and play rich media content such as images, music and video on their PS3, that is stored on their DLNA3 enabled devices such as PCs and laptops elsewhere in the house, reinforcing PS3’s credentials as a home entertainment hub that truly deserves pride of place in the Living Room.
A host of other enhancements include the ability to print photo images stored on PS3’s hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers.
PS3 owners will be able to upgrade their PS3 with the latest Version 1.80 firmware from 24th May 2007.
- ends -
Notes
1. DVD-ROM (including DVD Video content) can only be upscaled with HDMI compatible TV sets.
